1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Reducing nematicide dose rates could be a useful strategy for mitigating their negative effects on health and the environment. In this study, enzymatic activities and the parasitic ability of Meloidogyne incognita after exposure to sub-lethal concentrations (0.25, 1, 2, and 5 ppm) of ethoprophos, fenamiphos, and oxamyl were investigated. Although the tested concentrations did not show nematicidal properties in vitro, they reduced root galls by at least 30% at 0.25 ppm and up to 67% at 5 ppm in pots, besides disrupting nematode fertility. For all three nematicides at 2 ppm, a chemotaxis assay showed that ≤ 11% of the nematode population was successfully oriented to the host roots, compared to 44% in the control. Ethoprophos and fenamiphos at 5 ppm showed poor inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity (5.6% and 12.5%, respectively). In contrast, the same nematicides were shown to be strong ATPase inhibitors, causing 82.4% and 82.8% inhibition, respectively. At the same concentration, oxamyl moderately inhibited AChE and ATPase-specific activities, the inhibition being 22.5% and 35.2%, respectively. This study suggests that the use of very low nematicide concentrations could be a promising strategy for nematode management. Furthermore, it has also highlighted the role of ATPases as a possible target site for suppressing nematode activity in the development of future nematicides.
